Pour moi?
There is something very appealing about hand-drawn type on food or beauty products. I know the item is mass produced, yet I can’t help picturing it lovingly prepared and hand-labelled just for me. “Why thank you, you shouldn’t have.”

Album cover mini-project.
Band name = random Wikipedia article. Album name = random quote. Album art = random Flickr photo.

Hello all!
In the coming weeks, this blog with shift slightly in function. I’ll still use it as my design inspiration catchall (or rather, I’ll start using it as that again, after a bit of a Christmastime hiatus).
